Why teachers use our word problem worksheet maker

Everything you need to go from a topic to a labeled, ready-to-hand-out word problem worksheet.

Any topic, any grade

From addition and multiplication through algebra, geometry, trig, and calculus — the operation focus sets the math and how hard the problems are.

Right reading level

Five reading levels shape the wording, so the math stays the focus and the language fits your students.

Work space and answer key

Every problem gets work space and an answer line, and the answer key shows the equation and the steps.

Add a theme and graphs

Drop in a theme like farm animals or baking, and turn on coordinate graphs for problems that use them.
